Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Daft Punk performance rumors continue to spring up, thanks to the internet sleuths at Reddit. UK media outlet eFestivals reports both Daft Punk and Radiohead are rumored to perform at Glastonbury in 2017.

The Daft Punk news was slipped in a longer story on Radiohead returning to the festival for the 20th anniversary of their first appearance at Glastonbury in 1997.

"While we are less certain on the third headlining act, we have had what should be well-sourced information several months ago, that it's supposedly Daft Punk topping the bill on the Friday," the website wrote.

This would not be the first rumored festival appearance in 2017 for the French house duo. In September, Reddit users discovered a page for the group on Lollapalooza's website, suggesting they were booked for 2017. This would mark the 10-year anniversary of their first Lollapalooza festival appearance. And in early October, Reddit users also found a mysterious page online, alive2017, which many believed indicated an upcoming tour. Previous Daft Punk tours were titled Alive and the group released the Alive 1997 and Alive 2007 live albums.

However, industry insiders confirmed to Pitchfork that the group is not taking tour requests for 2017. THUMP has reached out to Glastonbury representatives for comment and will update this post with more information.
